I configure and manage secure architectures in AWS (IAM, encryption, CloudTrail, GuardDuty) and leverage SIEM tools like Splunk and Sentinel for log analysis, threat hunting, and real-time monitoring. Iโm adept at vulnerability management, system hardening, and aligning security practices with standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and MITRE ATT&CK. I collaborate closely with DevOps, IT, and network teams to build and maintain resilient, secure systems. โ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค Beyond the workplace, Iโm a dedicated Cybersecurity Mentor, actively collaborating with edtech platforms and institutions to deliver workshops, classes, and seminars on topics such as ethical hacking, secure coding, digital forensics, and defensive security. With over 5 years of experience in tech education, I focus on creating engaging, hands-on learning environments that prepare students and early professionals for real-world cybersecurity challengesโbridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. โ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก I believe that growth in cybersecurity and in life is rooted in continuous self-improvement. Alongside technical upskilling through labs, certifications, and research, Iโm an avid reader of self-help, philosophy, and personal development literature. These areas sharpen my critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and decision-making skills that are just as important in cybersecurity as technical knowledge. Iโm driven by real-world learning and a desire to evolve not just as a professional, but as a mindful and intentional individual. Letโs connect to discuss how we can shape a secure and innovative digital future together.
